Restoran Lan Je Steamed Fish (兰姐清蒸非洲鱼) at Kota Damansara is a Chinese restaurant serving Chinese dishes such as steamed fish, stirred fried yao mak, deep fried salted chicken, salted egg prawn, just to name a few. However, their main dish is the Steamed Tilapia fish which never fail our expectation. The fish is always fresh and the meat is springy every time we came here for dinner (apply to Kota Damansara branch only as we not sure about other branch).
The steamed mouth watering spicy Tilapia fish. Customer can choose the spiciness by not spicy, mild spicy, very spicy or super Spicy. We normally order the super spicy as it has enough kick. For those who normally eat spicy food, the super spicy is recommended.
Look at all the chilies. The hot sauce from the steamed fish goes well with the white rice and the chilies flavour can be tasted in the fish meat as well.
The Tilapia fish with a spoon for you to compare the size. This is medium size. The size is not guaranteed as it is depending on their fish supply.
Came here a few times for dinner and the Tilapia Fish are always fresh and juicy. Always went back satisfied. Beware of the bones when you are eating the fish.
Ordered a plate of potato leaves to go with the Tilapia Fish. Taste is nice but have tasted nicer vegetables at other restaurant.
The exterior of the Restaurant Lan Je. Newly painted. The slogan “一人一魚” here means “1 person must eat 1 fish”. The Tilapia fish here is not too expensive (below RM 20 depending on season price) so you can eat the whole fish yourself. You can also order mediums-sized for romantic sharing.
A view from outside of the Restaurant Lanje. Can get very packed during dinner time. Every table will have at least one order of the Steamed Tilapia Fish.
Saw this old newspaper cutting in the restaurant from The Sun. Restaurant Lan Je is started in Rawang and today they have a few branches in Puchong, Subang Jaya, SS3 and others. We did try the SS3 branch but prefer the Kota Damansara branch. Not sure why the fish at SS3 branch is not as delicious as the one at Kota Damansara.
